Direction was provided to turn the draft document into Report and to report back on activities. The COVID- 19 global pandemic interrupted a number of activities in 2020. For example, the Mushkegowuk Cup was postponed and the inability to meet face-to-face led to the cancellation of a many of meetings of the City of Timmins Indigenous Advisory Committee.

Addressing Human Needs: Worked collaboratively with the Cochrane DSSAB, Living Space and Northern College to ensure the safest possible shelter services were available during the pandemic. Lobbied senior levels of government for support for the Mushkegowuk Council' s Fire Keepers Street Outreach application for funding. Worked collaboratively with the Timmins Native Friendship Centre and Living Space to ensure adequate winter shelter services and cold weather alerts during 2019-20. Timmins hosted 166 evacuees for a seventeen day period in August from Fort Hope, ensuring COVID- 19 protocols were in place including 24/7 on site nurses and access to a physician.
